Hi guys, I'm Luan (guy).
I'm new to riding in the US (got my license last week) but I've had a great many hours on 2-wheels before that.
I grew up riding in super crazy city traffic on 100-150cc bikes (imagine Bombay or thailand, but much worse). And to top it off I was probably the craziest rider of the city.
When I started riding here (Houston, Texas) I did my homework and learned a great deal about motorcycle riding. It was a lot of new stuff. I used to be a very aggressive rider (always looking to beat my own records on city traffic) but now that I'm riding the SV650 on US roads I think I'm just about the safest rider out there. I've been there (riding most recklessly) and now my mind is re-aligned to be safe and I think past riding experience helped me to be extra safe and cautious (think avoiding riders like my teenager self).
Maybe it's just I'm not a kid anymore
Ok this has gone longer than it shoud.. HI!!
Oh and I ride a 2002 SV650.
My first ride on it (and first ride ever on US highway) was a 80mile round-trip in 32 degree weather, at night. haha. (I did have 4 25+ adults with MC licenses in a car behind me though).
